This Hidden Swimming Hole In Texas Is Too Beautiful For Words

As East Texans, we’ve accepted the fact that pretty water within about a 200-mile radius simply doesn’t exist. We either settle for the mediocrity we have or drive all the way to the hill country. What if I told you there was a beautiful, turquoise oasis hiding in the middle of the forest? It’s true, y’all. And here’s why you should visit.

East Texans definitely aren't used to water this color. The closest thing to blue for us is the swampy, murky water of Village Creek - or so we thought.
